ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm Raivis! I'm 23 years-old Couchsurfing newbie. I'm from Latvia (North-East Europe).

I study Audiovisual Media Arts, 3rd year. I'm creative, little bit unusual. I love freedom which reflects itself in taking photos, watching sunsets, daydreaming with music and rest of the good stuff that we have in this world :)

PHILOSOPHY

One lady said I'm a Buddha. That got me thinking - I guess I don't worry about things I can't affect, but do take everything easy

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While I was in USA, I wasn't able to have my own place all the time, therefore Couchsurfing came in handy, when I had nowhere to stay. Why choose hostel if you can meet new people and share experiences?

Interests

Photography- been doing this for years. My passion and also a way to earn some money. Check out- www.raivisphoto.com

Listening to music- from James Brown up to Smashing Pumpkins, Cypress Hill and even Mac Miller :) Love Bonobo.

Public events- live concerts, jazz, exhibitions, movies or just couple beers and good talks. All that kind of stuff.

Cool nature spots- I love fresh air and good view/ landscapes. Berkeley hills is The Spot! :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Lots of movies! Lots! "Dude abides".

Even more music- if I can appreciate Flying Lotus, that means something, right?

I like to read easy sci-fi, near-future, apocalypse type of books at this moment.

Almost died in Grand Canyon. It was a bad experience. Never thought nature can really be dangerous..
